labels / ecolabels (specializing in) Explanation: These are tourism sustainability certification bodies, but your text has just referred to "entidades certificadoras" and you don't want to repeat yourself. The ecotourism jargon term is "labels", particularly in Europe, but also to a lesser extent in the US (where this whole area is less advanced). Organizations like Earthcheck and Travelife are referred to as "labels", which is the equivalent of "sellos", or "ecolabels", which is a bit more common in the US. Here's a European document on the subject: "Sustainable Tourism Labels Guide for the certification of tourist accommodation and tour operators in southern Mediterranean countries. [...] Leading sustainable labels for tourist accommodation Travelife Green Key Green Globe EU Ecolabel EarthCheck Tunisian Ecolabel Other labels" https://www.switchmed.eu/en/e-library/the-new-sustainable-to... Here's a document from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, mentioned in your text: "Based in Athens, Greece, Green Evolution SA is an environmental service provider specialized in ecology, energy and carbon finance, and offering training working with several sustainable tourism certification standards and labels, such as Travelife, Green Globe and EarthCheck." https://www.gstcouncil.org/sustainable-tourism-training-in-s... An (American) site on the "Top 5 Websites for Promoting Ecotourism at Your Hotel": "To get your hotel on Bookdifferent’s list, you need to have one or more of the following labels and certifications: Audobon International’s Green Lodging Program Biosphere Responsible Tourism Label EarthCheck Global Sustainable Tourism Council Green Globe Green Key Global TourCert Travelife" https://blog.capterra.com/top-5-websites-for-promoting-ecoto... And another US organization, based in Washington and Stanford and oriented to Latin America; it uses "ecolabels" rather than just "labels": "The DestiNet Portal for Sustainable Tourism information describes and offers links to the websites of over 60 ecolabels for sustainable tourism worldwide." https://www.responsibletravel.org/docs/Ecotourism_Handbook_I... |
